THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF
THE CHINESE OVERSEAS
EDITED BY LYNN PAN
The Encyclopedia of the Chinese Overseas offers a panoramic view of past and present overseas Chinese communities worldwide. From their arrival as laborers in the British colonies to their emergence as a force in Indonesia, Chinese emigrants have carried the experiences of China to other continents and civilizations, in the process modifying and enriching them. This book reflects the diverse histories and traditions that produced this diaspora.
